Porsche adds digital keys, in-car gaming to 2026 Macan Electric
Although it feels like Porsche only just introduced the electric Macan, the sporty EV SUV is starting to become a more common sight on the road. And as the automaker transitions into model year 2026, it's giving the Macan some new digital toys.
Now, both Android and iPhone users will be able to create a digital key for the car (iPhone users can also add a key to their Apple Watch). This works via near-field communication as well as Bluetooth low energy and ultra-wideband, and you can share keys with up to seven other users from your phone's wallet. You can also use your phone to open the trunk (although operating the frunk requires the My Porsche App). The key should work even if the phone needs charging.
For Macans fitted with 360-degree parking cameras, several new features leverage the sensors. There's a transparent hood function that shows you on the infotainment screen whatever it is that's being obscured by the front of the vehicle, which should be useful should you take the Macan off-road.
